Sure.

Would a memory clobber work as well?

Re addressing modes: I would prefer to explicitly use v0 and v1, I
have another patch pending that allows partial saves/restores of the
NEON register file when called from interrupt context. I suppose I
could use 'register asm("v0")' or something like that, but that won't
make it any prettier.

Good!

Care to comment on the rest of the series?

Cheers.
